The Jackson Mountains (JM) are part of the early Mesozoic continental arc in northwest Nevada, which was constructed upon previously accreted Paleozoic basement. The stratigraphy of the Paleozoic basement exposed in the ...

Subduction of an oceanic plate beneath the Bering Strait region resulted in the formation of an extensive magmatic belt along the margin of the region during the Cretaceous. Plutons and gneiss domes of this age are broadly ...

The effects of fluid evolution and infiltration in the Alta stock contact aureole, Utah, were studied by evaluating chemical additions and depletions in igneous, replacement skarn, and carbonate whole-rock samples. Of the ...

This study presents mineralogic and stable isotopic records generated for piston cores and Ocean Drilling Program holes recovered from intermediate water depths (500 to 2500 meters) near carbonate platforms around the ...

The Netherlands Leeward Antilles volcanic island arc is an ideal natural laboratory to study the evolution of the Caribbean-South American plate boundary. The Leeward Antilles islands (Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire) are ...

During the late Cenozoic mafic lavas were emplaced contemporaneously with Basin and Range extension near Battle Mountain, Nevada. They display wide ranges in major and trace elements contents and Sr, Nd, and Pb ratios. The ...

The relative rates of calcite (CaCO3) precipitation and dissolution largely determine the preservation and subsequent accumulation of carbonate in the geologic record and are fundamental parameters for predicting the fate ...
